    Angry Which PIC will be tge good choise?

    My antenae rotor remote is stuck. Reconstruct it as the old hardware set-up today wouldn't permit me to connect the remote to dedicated Radio Amateur ( Ham) programs. Quite a time now I was involved with computer hardware. My age 74! Last assembler language I used to play around with was The OS4 for Naked Mini from Computer automation. Processor was build on a 4 square foot board with discrete elements...Seems I am to old and missing part of my neurons to learn a a PIC assembler today with about forthy instructions . Thought a standard Mel Picbasic would do, as I still remember Basic I used in 1975. The mean question, which PIC ?
    It should handle some analogue sigs, translate to azimuth indicator ( motor drived repeator )or why not use a LCD So as to visualise some other status of the system. Looked around and thought maybe a PIC 16F716 would do the job. Which other might be a better choise? Then the second question, does Mel pic basic ( standard ) runs under VISTA ...ha ha ! Would be great if some of the Pic specialist could help me and put me back on the rails. Oh RS232 serial communication is generaly used, but USB will probably be used in the futur. Thanks for a shout. sorry for my bad English and please dont tell Shakespeare about Willy wouln'ty appreciate it that much.
